减肥(lose weight)已经不再是另类创举,它已经被大家所接纳并成为了一种默认的审美标准。要减掉身上那些在别人眼中,或是在自己眼中看来累赘的脂肪,想必吃素是不错的选择。加上疯牛病(mad cow disease)、禽流感(bird flu)的轮番袭击,我们前所未有地感觉到素食的重要性。今天我们就来看看几个和吃素有关的英语表达法:4 p- a1 z- a1 J0 a& F" _
7 k8 p0 ?. T$ L* _( \3 [* y食素自然和蔬菜有关,英语中有关吃素的词语也就和vegetable一词密不可分。吃素的人分为两种:
# h: J/ ^/ K9 {% T+ ?# {4 Jvegetarian素食者,不吃任何肉类食品的人9 e! v# s% ?) H9 l. t3 K- s& U
◆The vegetarian restaurant around the corner attracts many tourists each year.+ }. y3 h1 C+ `

◆She became a vegan after she believed in Buddhism. 0 i. F1 ?0 N5 i# W7 _# I
; y$ D' E( m7 S) w3 ^除了各种蔬菜之外,素食者还会吃些什么样的食物呢?下面是他们可以选择的两种食品:
- \/ R5 m9 |( qvegeburger(vegetable+burger)植物蛋白饼,即蔬菜包(面包里夹有蔬菜,虽然不像汉堡包(hamburger)里有大块的肉饼,但是形状上看似肉夹饼,望上一眼,多少也就果腹了)
2 e% O" M `# X4 x◆The newly marketed vegeburger is claimed to be more healthy and tasty than the traditional hamburgers.

( u+ }7 x3 j! x0 W1 R4 T& Y
在vegetarian/vegan等词的基础上,还衍生出一些表示其他意义的词汇和短语,例如:9 Q8 w, ?/ t3 M9 @; x2 W' z, l
vegetate过无所事事的单调生活% t, m6 F( T6 h( [8 m
◆I got fed up with vegetating at home during the holiday.
; S3 x. ^1 a& c5 ]veg out既可表示过素食者生活,又可表示过单调呆板的日子; W, f8 [8 C: z6 o
◆Vegging out! is dedicated to promoting plant-based food and nutrition, whether you are a vegan, vegetarian, or someone who simply wants to eat more foods from the earth.
6 u% `! @3 K6 |4 h+ Y5 e5 S7 y' r◆We found ourselves having nothing to do during the weekend but vegging out for hours watching TV.

除此之外,在日常口语或非正式的场合中,还有两个简略的词语,通常用来表达蔬菜或素食者:veg (=vegetable英国英语), veggie (=vegetarian, 英国英语,或vegetable,美国英语)。4 A- y, P- s9 f, ^" h
$ J) |3 Z. C: P4 n( i# B" h, _& I选择吃素还是吃荤是个人的自由,关键是要有个均衡的饮食(balanced diet)。不过,吃素也好,不吃素也好,我们可能都不想自己的生活处于vegging out的状态。 |
